Proposed materials to be included in the revision of Recommendation
ITU-R M.1457-10
IEEE 802.16 Working Group has developed the following approved and published standards as
amendments to IEEE Std 802.16:
•
IEEE Std 802.16h (“IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks - Part 16:
Air Interface for Broadband Wireless Access Systems - Amendment 2: Improved
Coexistence Mechanisms for License-Exempt Operation”) was published by IEEE on 30
July 2010. This amendment updates and expands IEEE Std 802.16, specifying improved
mechanisms, as policies and medium access control enhancements, to enable coexistence
among license-exempt systems and to facilitate the coexistence of such systems with
primary users.
•
IEEE Std 802.16m (“IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks - Part 16:
Air Interface for Broadband Wireless Access Systems - Amendment 3: Advanced Air
Interface”) was published by IEEE on 6 May 2011. This amendment specifies the
WirelessMAN-Advanced Air Interface. The amendment is based on the WirelessMANOFDMA specification and provides continuing support for legacy subscriber stations.

Annex 5
Self-evaluation of the proposed update against the evaluation criteria
The self-evaluation of the “total” radio interface update of IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD WMAN has
been made against all evaluation criteria listed in the update procedure contained in Circular
Letter 8/LCCE/95. The results are that the proposed updates meet the evaluation criteria as follows:
7.1
"The evaluation criteria" (Section 7.1 in Circular Letter 8/LCCE/95)
The "requirements and objectives of IMT-2000" and the "Minimum performance capabilities for
IMT-2000" as per Attachments 4 and 6 of Circular Letter 8/LCCE/47 were considered. The values
included in Circular Letter 8/LCCE/47 were used. The proposed update consists of enhancements to
the existing IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD WMAN radio interface. The evaluation of the proposed
update was done in the context of the "total" radio interface. As shown in the tables below, the
conclusion is that the IMT-2000 OFDMA TDD WMAN radio interfaces with the proposed
enhancements continues to meet all evaluation criteria in "Requirements and objectives of
IMT-2000" and "Minimum performance capabilities for IMT-2000".
